The right-leaning entities have dubbed the new plan —
officially named the American Health Care Act — "Obamacare-lite"
because it preserves what they consider to be objectionable
parts of the Affordable Care Act.

Sen. Rand Paul tweeted his displeasure with the law on
Tuesday for not going far enough in repeal.

"House leadership plan is Obamacare Lite," Paul tweeted.
"It will not pass. Conservatives are not going to take
it."

In addition to lawmakers in the House Freedom Caucus and
more conservative-leaning senators, grassroots groups
— from the Club for Growth to Heritage Action to the Cato
Institute — have also attacked the bill. President Donald Trump
is set to meet with some of those groups at the White House later
Wednesday.

It would include tax
credits. Conservatives say the tax credits to
purchase health insurance in the AHCA — which range from $2,000
a year for young people to $4,000 a year for Americans over age
60 — are simply a "Republican entitlement" and will worsen the
US fiscal deficit.

It would not repeal Medicaid expansion
completely. The ACA allowed states to expand
Medicaid — the government insurance program for low-income
people — to those making 138% above the federal poverty line,
which led to more than 11 million people getting insurance.
Conservatives believe that this
expansion should be repealed as it puts too much of the
burden on the government. The AHCA does not totally repeal the
provision, instead shifting the funding to per-capita block
grants after 2019.

It would not not roll back all ACA
regulations. The bill still keeps the essential
health benefit requirements in place, meaning insurers must
cover certain types of care in order to qualify their plans for
the individual marketplaces.
Conservatives favor getting rid of these baselines to allow
insurers to offer cheaper plans that cover a smaller set of
health issues.
